This is the home page of the Streatham Ice Skating Action Group (SISAG). There has been an ice rink in Streatham (South London, UK) since 1931. In the light of the planning application by Tescos to re-develop the site, and Lambeth Council's consultation on the surrounding area, many people were concerned about possibly losing the ice rink, but were not in contact with each other. SISAG was set up to share information and co-ordinate a campaign to preserve ice skating in Streatham. The aims of SISAG are in Aims and Objectives. The group includes representatives from most of the skating clubs that use the rink, as well as adult skaters and parents of child skaters. For more information see Members. Information about the campaign is posted on Campaign News. Information about SISAG email updates, and project updates from Lambeth is available at Project Updates. The Streatham rink is the second oldest in the country. For some historical information see Rink History. The rink is open and events are happening there - see Rink Events. For links to other relevant sites see Links. For details of how to contact the group see Contact SISAG. SISAG is also part of the Stakeholders Group that Lambeth has set up to be consulted about the leisure development. ********Latest ********Lambeth Cabinet approves Pope's Road as temporary rink siteA report on the Streatham Hub project was presented at the meeting of Lambeth Cabinet on Monday 26th July. The published report is here. At the meeting, the Cabinet agreed to Pope's Road Car Park in Brixton as the recommended temporary ice rink site. A planning application for the temporary rink is expected in August. In reply to the question from SISAG, Council officers reconfirmed the commitment that the Tesco store will not be allowed to open before the new permanent leisure facilities. We were concerned that this guarantee might be weakened when the legal agreements on the development are modified for the new phasing. We will check that the commitment given appears in the minutes of the meeting. For more details see Campaign News.
